Thoughts II

Here's a post from more than a year ago.

I am going to make some additions:

When someone says "this is the last you will hear from me," it often means you're winning the argument and they are too cowardly to admit it. Yes,
Thomas Lifson, I'm a -talkin' 'bout YOU.

There were four plausible ways that "The Emperor's New Clothes" might end:

(1) The subjects might stone (or otherwise hush up) the little boy in order to avoid admitting they were duped.
(2) The emperor might frighten the little boy into recanting and the subjects into submission.
(3) The subjects might wise up, but the emperor and his entourage refuse to admit the truth.
(4) The emperor might admit that he was naked but deny that he had been tricked; indeed, he had always planned on walking around naked in front of his subjects, and his decision to do so had excellent results!

The universe cannot constantly be in danger of blowing up.

Research has shown that everyone loves a picture of a sexy vampiress.

Once you have found a catchphrase, go with it. Paris Hilton has "that's hot," the "Military Thoughts" blogger has "This is coolbert... coolbert." Michael Ledeen has "faster, please." I have...

That is all.
